'THE MONKEY KING 2'

TRAILER AND POSTERS

You can also check out an action packed teaser for the sequel to one of China's most lucrative movies ever THE MONKEY KING 2 (the second movie is also a costy affair with $20 million budget) which arrives to theatres also February with three biggest Asian stars Aaron Kwok as The Monkey King (a role he is taking over from above mentioned Donnie Yen, even though he played another character in the first film), Gong Li as the White Skeleton Demon, Kelly Chen as Goddess of Mercy, and Feng Shaofeng leading the cast of the enchanting epic fantasy with visual effects unseen ever before!

7TH CENTURY CHINA Told by an Old Sage, a Western monk who travelled from Europe to
China in the 7th Century. He tells the tale to two children, one
Chinese, the other from the West who come across the monk in a cave on a
remote mountainside above the Eastern Ocean. The monk is the current
keeper of a hundred painted scrolls, each describing an event in the
Monkey King's life. Our dear Shaun Smith is creature and special makeup
effects supervisor in this one as well!

That pig eared guy in the Monkey King 2 trailer kind of needed better CGI or costuming. Whichever it was I kind of taken out of the experience because he looked fake. Most of the trailer looked amazing and that staff was the true star as far as I am concerned.

I saw the CTHD2 trailer earlier today on Beyond the trailer (hosted by Grace Randolph) on Youtube. She ripped it to shreds. Apparently the tv ish look did not sit well with her after that eye popping first movie. I think it still looks pretty amazing though.

Wouldn't say he looked fake, that is just the way Chinese effects work, their visuals are a bit different... and in most cases better. I'm also a bit reserved when it comes to CROUCHING TIGER sequel, it does look a bit cheap in the trailer... no wonder it is a TV production... I thought it would be a cinematic movie at first. Now it looks a bit like an adaptation of a video game
